Talk is cheap

I am a student at Baylor University, and a minor in religion. I am taking a world religions class as a part of my religion minor, and thus expected to learn about well, religions of the world. In fact though, I am receiving guilt trips about shopping at walmart, not giving large amounts of myself and my possessions to aide in the civil wars in Africa. I have sympathy for those people and want to help, but rather than trying to guilt me into going over there or something, give me something to do about it. Also, if I was wanting to learn about the trials facing Africa, I would take a class on it. I choose a class about world religions because I want to learn about the primary religions of the world, yet it is the end of the second week of class, and I have not learned a thing about them. I am not very happy about it to say the least.

Life is great however, and I am continuing to love being here in Waco and living with one of my best friends. The only thing I wish I had here is my baby. I miss him a lot at the moment, thus why I am strongly considering braving the snowy weather to get up to Dallas and be with him. Classes are quite busy and they keep me working throughout the day and sometimes late into the night. I am happy to say that I have become accustomed to going to bed at the latest around midnight, which has been very enjoyable. I wake around seven or eight thirty daily and on Monday Wednesday and Friday i eat breakfast while watching my new favorite show, Rachel Ray. Afterwards I continue to get ready to face the day. Shower, get dressed, prepare my notes and whatnot for my classes, and then leave for class and start my work for the day. Tuesday and Thursday, I wake up and get ready, although not in as desirable a pace. I then go to my early class and come back during my break before my two back to back classes at 12:30. I am very proud of myself so far this semester and hope to be able to continue this routine. I have studied my notes, done my reading, and worked hard to turn in my work on time so far, and can only hope and work hard to continue this.

I am also still working at my church, which I love doing and now am getting paid for which is exciting. I am hoping to be working with them throughout the summer and maybe even being the intern again, who knows.

My life continues to be very blessed and soon I will be another year older. I cannot thank people enough for all they have taught me and given me in the past year.
